You've assumed wrong, but in retrpospect if every S-curve of exponential growth, stagnation and inevitable decline has to be replaced by another S-curve of growth I can't see better option than nuclear for the system as a whole, the fact that Iceland will be powered by geothermal energy won't make live of average Joe somewhere else any better.

You = Europe in general, I'm not taking into account some region-specific details.

It seems that all the traditional spanish energy companies disagree with you, otherwise they wouldn't have lobbied the government to tax the sun. Getting paid for the days their combined cycle plants just sit there doing nothing seems to not be enough for them.

wasn't that due to spain having massive solar deployments due to really badly done subsidies that resulted in power generation costs not being covered by the sales of that power? hence the need to raise revenue from the solar sector that had been massively subsidised.
